The holiday season is upon us, and what better way to show the green thumb in your life some love than with gifts tailored to their passion for plants and all things gardening? In the spirit of the “12 Days of Christmas,” here’s a festive and practical gift guide that will light up their season. Each day highlights a thoughtful gift that will bring joy to any gardener.
Day 1: One Pear Tree Drops Leaves
The wind is blowing, cold weather is coming, and the trees are dropping leaves off like crazy! We love our Greenworks 40V Cordless Axial Leaf Blower for this task. Perfect for gardeners who like less clean up work in the spring.
Day 2: Two Turtle Doves are Messy
And sometimes our aeroponic growing towers can be, too. The Rubbermaid Reveal Power Scrubber with Multi-Purpose Head is cordless, water resistant, easy to use, and gets into the challenging nooks and crannies. Our next round of planting is ready to go after we’ve used this great tool.
Day 3: French Hens Mean Deeper Cleaning
Ok, maybe not for the hens, but for most other things we love this Roots Circle All-Natural Citric Acid. From soaking our tower grow pots to preserving foods, this is our go-to citric acid.
Day 4: Four Calling Birds Need Air Circulation
So do the plants we grow in the greenhouse! The Tornado 20-inch High Velocity Industrial Wall Fan has three speeds and is straightforward to install for the best air circulation. Happy strong plants, better harvest for us!
Day 5: Five Golden Bags of Potting Soil
When it comes to traditional, soil-based growing, do we want an optimal blend of nutrients and pH for our plants? Yes, please! FoxFarm Happy Frog Potting Soil offers this to us for both indoor and outdoor container planting. It even includes microbes and humic acids!
Day 6: Six Geese are Sassy
Have you ever met a territorial goose? They let everyone know who needs to get moving – and fast! Sometimes in our garden, the tools and gadgets we use are favorites because of speed, sometimes for ease, but this one is for both. The Vego Quick Connector Set with Shut-Off Valve makes disconnecting hoses a breeze.
Day 7: Seven Swans Prefer Not to Over- or Under-water
We’re all busy these days and sometimes our potted plants need a bit more consistency that our daily lives offer. Let us introduce you to the Maqihan Self-Watering Rope! This simplistic system is like a straw for your potted plants, wicking water up from one container and delivering it to the soil of your potted plants as needed.
Day 8: Eight Maids Like Less Algae Growth
An aeroponic Tower Garden is a fantastic system for growing vegetables and herbs both indoors and out. And, while we love keeping our tower full of growing plants, sometimes we may harvest something before we have a new seedling for that growing port! Instead of leaving the hole open for sunlight to trigger algae growth (and more cleaning), we like to use an xGarden Neoprene Clone Collar. This two-inch flat disk inserts into the opening and keeps extra algae away.
Day 9: Nine Ladies Want a Good Garden Organization
And don’t we all! With these Plastic Storage and Distribution Container Totes (with an attached, hinged lid so it doesn’t get lost), we can do just that. From storing garden tools and materials, to transporting bags of harvested vegetables, these are the perfect size for any garden.
Day 10: Ten Lords Appreciate a 10-Pack of Pots
And not the tiny flimsy ones, either! The RainMan S 10-Pack, Five (five!!) Gallon Square Planter Pots are perfect for anything from herbs to flowers, even an entire tomato plant. And while they’re well made, they’re also easier to move around as needed.
Day 11: Eleven Pipers Pipe for Ways to Store Harvests
We always hope to have a garden that’s so bountiful that we have to share the goods. These One Gallon Food Storage Bags with Twist Ties are perfect and economical for this. Special deliveries are easy to make when they’re packaged so neatly!
Day 12: Twelve Drummers Love Their Ladybug Helpers
Last but not least, every garden needs helpers and ladybugs are on the top of our list! They’re prolific pest-eaters, even the tiniest of aphids are no match for their voracious appetites. Ladybugs are nature’s pest control and your symbiotic relationship will do wonders for your garden’s health and longevity.
This list is packed with creative and practical ideas to celebrate the gardener in your life this holiday season. Whether they’re new to gardening or a seasoned pro, these gifts are sure to assist and delight!
